What is the main advantage of a Stage 3+ clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 3+ clutch kit, like this one from SPEC, is designed to handle significantly more torque than a factory clutch. This makes it suitable for modified engines or for drivers who frequently engage in aggressive driving or track use.

Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It is recommended to inspect and potentially resurface or replace your flywheel, as it is not typically included in clutch kits.

How will this clutch affect the pedal feel in my Audi S5?

While this is a performance clutch designed for higher torque, the sprung multi-plate design aims to provide a manageable pedal feel. It will likely be firmer than the stock clutch, but the sprung hub helps absorb some shock and vibration.

About this part

Product Details

SPEC is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this Stage 3+ clutch kit is a prime example for your 2007-2012 Audi S5 with the 4.2L engine. If you're pushing your S5 harder than stock, whether it's for track days or just spirited driving, this kit is designed to handle the extra demands placed on your clutch system.

This Stage 3+ kit features a sprung multi-plate design, which helps manage the increased torque capacity while still offering a manageable pedal feel. The sprung hub design absorbs some of the shock and vibration that can come with a higher-performance clutch, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid hub setup. SPEC uses a high-performance friction material that offers a strong grip, allowing for confident engagement and power transfer, even when the engine is making significantly more torque than stock. This kit is built to be a direct replacement for your original clutch, simplifying the installation process.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If your flywheel is warped or has deep grooves, it's best to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new clutch. This kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement, ensuring you have everything you need to get your Audi S5 back on the road with improved performance.
